Hallett This is your local stontion 213 Ocean No K. "Down along or up along " on the Cape today we visitors, natives and strangers lugging huge bundles, day \u Jt day out. Women, who in many of our cities would have a spn l of cotton or any small package sent to their home in the suK urb ; people who would no more be seen at a movie with a bi shopping bag or a paper parcel than they would enter a church with the same Times have changed and we I realize it more and more every day. Those big brown paper bags holding a peck or more are as fa- miliar objects on the streets today as the people themselves, In fact, more so, for after living on Cape Cod' all your life you can walk through many Btreets today and naver see a soul you know. Strang- ers are becoming the natives now. It is almost impossible to tell any- one who used to live in the house, there is no connecting link to bind the story together. "Oh yes," some- one said. "Seems as if I had heard of Dr. Pitcher." Didn't* he have something to do with Fletcher's Cnstorla?" "Yes, he did, " I said. "Quite a little bit." You might as well talk about Adam and Eve as to talk about Capt. Albert Chase's house or the Rev. Rufus S. Pope and his fam- ily. Whoever heard of "Pope's Lane" except the few natives? People who kept the old stores and lived here and made the Cape Villages what they are have be- come not even a memory now. I read somewhere that a party was being formed to start out soon for Mt. ' Arrarat to see if they could find some relics of Noah's Ark. Looks rather dubious to me. We may be able to start with Noah if they dig up anything reliable and let Adam rest for a while. He has had enough trouble laid to his door, but he deserves some of it for putting the blame for so much of our downfall on Eve. She would- n't be far out of style (if you can call it style) today at the beaches . . . half a yard of cloth distributed would replace the leaves, or BO it seems sometimes, Viewed by the Naked Eye .. . oi- ls that vulgar? Or Is anything vul- gar anymore! After the shirtwaist and separate skirt went out of style you looked out of date dressed that way; one-piece gowns appeared. Everyone then felt tall and slinky, after being cut off in the middle . . . sort of a parting of the ways . . . making you look shorter. One of the first women to appear at a dance in the old Masonic Hall who wore what Bhe called a "Prin- cess dress" created a lot of talk of course. "What do you think! So and so came in her wrapper." This woman came from New York and evidently her costume was the last word in style. It is true you have to get used . to the style and any sudden change creates a lot of discussion. A one- piece dress is much easier to put on If you are in a hurry as every- one is today. It's hurry, hurry over the radio to get prpoducts adver- tised. You would think not a mo- | ment could go by or that would all be sold, but year after year they tell you the same old story, so whv worry . . . take your time. I haven', read much about the women with serious heart trouble who had only a short time to live—she has bee„ getting all kinds of advice on w, problem of spending ten thous&M dollars to the best advantage at once. No one can tell how lone they may live but her problem would attract very little notice without the ten thousand bait. People Bometimes are better oil to.solve things that concern them- selves so intimately. The ten thousand would soon be gone it she followed some one's advice to choose a young man or girl or both and travel around ut« world, seeing old cathedrals and wonders of Europe. Rather stren- uous exercise for a woman with a weak h e a r t . . . up and down steps, keeping pace with such young pec- ' pie. She would need to be a mil. lionaire—what's ten thousand for three? And how much better ol would she be and how much satis- faction would she get at journey's ena to nave a few more earthly pictures in her mind. No rushing around at the supposedly last min- ute will bring happiness or relief , but that's up to her. i hope she solves it in the best and wisest way for her. Watching the people on the Main Street one day—about two-thirds of them • had handkerchiefs over their heads. A few years ago we had never even heard of going without a hat The pigeons amused me. They kept on eating and strutting around, paying not the slightest at- tention to the passing crowd. They still have faith in humanity. LOANS American Way On your signature , only ..o co-signers, no mortgages. No nothing, apparently. How nice. But there must be a day of redemption or will all our debts like our sins be forgiven and for- gotten? Who knows. ,. - Radio Beams - ........................ . ] JOB !

We didn't buy that fur coat I wanted •o much and STILL we're broke!" Town of Barnstable Cape Cod June 2, 1949 Dear Theodosia: I believe I told you I had some more things to tell you about my visit to Nantucket. Down at the entrance to Straight Wharf is a building used for a theatre. In the summer the Faucett Players use it. In the winter it!s a community theatre. Margaret Fau- cett Wilson of the Faucett Players and a writer of historical plays is there In the summer and is active in the group. She Is the daughter of George Faucett , former movie actor, and Percy Haswell, who was on the stage, both of them now de- ceased. Mrs. Wilson writes plays made up from historical episodes In the life of Nantucket , then the Players put them on the Straight Wharf Theatre stage to the great delight and enjoyment of the towns- people. My, I should think they would enjoy them. It would be like seeing the past right before your eyes, lived over again. Particularly, If it's a past you yourself can re- member, it would be like living your life over again . Another thing that goes on in Nantucket in the drama line is at Christmas time, when the churches' and all organizations unite in giv- ing one big Christmas party for all the children of the town. This not only saves time and expense , but it gives much full for all the kiddies together at one time. It's nice and gratifying to visit a place where the various sects and creeds can work and play to- gether, and what u sensible idea it is to do that. This Christmas fea- ture along with the nightly com- munity sing I've already written you about makes for true com- munity spirit. Your loving Aunt Jane.

Hy. 192-R Centervflfe Surprising Reserves of Cape Cod The forestry tour conduc ted last week certainly showed the interest that has been aroused in Cape property owners toward conservation , or, as the newer term would put it, renewable nat- ural resources. The approximatel y 50 persons who met at Shawme State Forest to be shown Cape Cod wood and its uses learned on this educational inspection tour that we can produce native wood suitable for building homes as well as for making other products; that Cape wood, by certain treatment , can be adapted to new uses; and that even the poorest soil is capable of supporting vigorous forest growth. An exhibit at State Forest headquarters displayed asphalt- treated shingles and siding made from oak and Cape Cod pitch pine, boxes from pitch pine and native white pine. Our pitch pine makes lumber that is suitable for use where the wood is not exposed, as, for instance, siding and studding, and, when so used, it means considerable saving in expense. Shingles can be fashioned out of swamp cedar, native to the Cape. From the soil of Cape Cod spring numerous varieties of trees. In the Wakeby Lake region stands what is judged to be a virgin forest of hard wood. It holds 120 kinds of trees and wood, which have through the centuries been untouched by fire. The forest is surrounded by water and, though fires have ravaged nearby growths, they have been effectively prevented from breaking through to this island forest. Mr. Bertram Tomlinson , who is serving as secretary of the Cape Cod Extension Forestry Committee, promises further for- est tours to provide ample opportunity to observe our forest t sources and their renewability for those Cape Codders who have this interest at heart. Surely our Cape is a veritable mine of surprising reserves. Be Soap CARE-Ful It is hard to imagine, much less believe that people exist who have no soap and who cannot secure any soap. Yet such, we are told , is the case. Paul Comly French, executive director of CARE, has recently returned from a European tour , where he witnessed the appalling lack. Said he, "Many European kids have literally never seen a cake of soap," yet bodily cleanliness is necessary to combat disease and the spread of it. His report sounded a constructive note, however, for he announced a way in which Americans can help. Lever Brothers Company of Cambridge, makers of soap and soap products, has agreed to give to the organization CARE, for the purpose of filling the desperate need in Europe, a cake of soap for every 2 wrappers of Swan soap. CARE expects in this way to be able to ship several million bars of soap to Europe, where it can be distributed among orphanages, camps of displaced persons, schools, hospitals, and even individual families. American organizations are co-operat- ing in this project and are urging their members to use Swan soap and save the wrappers. Give this campaign your support. It will cost you nothing but a thought. Urge your friends and associates to put a similar thought to work. Just mail your wrappers to CARE , Boston 1, Massachu- setts. No letter is necessary, just insert them in an envelope, ad- dress it, and affix a stamp. EDITO RIALS —
